I've got this nice NOS looking Cinelli steel stem on ebay. http://tinyurl.com/jmf7s Not sure if this breaks CR posting rules(?) Also; I've got quite a few sets of NOS European 1970's double butted racing spokes to identify. I'll have to break out the magnifying glass to read some of them, (altho several sets appear to be stamped with a capital 'R' ; I'm assuming Robergal). Has anyone ever posted photos of classic era spoke ends? It would sure help me identify these. Lastly; a friend (Porsche restorer John Howe) bought an iridescent white, Columbus SL by Michael Celmins for his wife around 1980. It's got full Shimano 600 6 speed. Ridden maybe 20 miles: Showroom condition. Stored in ideal conditions; dry climate, indoors. He won't go lower than $650.00. I believe top tube is 46cm. 700c wheels.
